The grain was divided and the heads were cut off in the granary. The people were not only happy but also frightened. At this time, they really understood what it means to keep their word. They solved to reason with grain and knives. This reason is that I have no other requirements for you. Just listen to me.
The beheaded were treated differently. The soldiers who fought to the end ordered a heavy burial, and then distributed a heavy pension to each family. Although it is impossible to appease the sadness and anger of the deceased's family, this is what should be done. As for the bodies of those naughty scoundrels, they were all dragged out of the city to find a mountain ditch and lost them for the wild animals to eat.
When Fang Xie breaks the city next time, perhaps no one thinks that the time of breaking the city is an opportunity to make a fortune.
"General!"
On the way back to the city master's house, Nie Xiaoju came up quickly: "Fu Zhengnan left, only with his family. He left the city just at dawn."
He handed the things in his hand to Fang Xie: "I left two letters."
Fang Xie took the envelope and looked at it. The first one was for him, and the second one was for Fengping City Lord Zhu Baotian.
Fang Jie opened the envelope, looked at it, and couldn't help laughing.
The letter to him didn't say anything, not even thank you. The main idea is that Fu Zhengnan feels very strange. Why did he lose to Fang Xie without any resentment. He told Fang Xie that there were a group of foreigners in Dali city with a lot of firearms. In order to deal with him, Murong shame recruited a large number of Jianghu guests, including overhaul walkers. He said that although the other party didn't like Fang Xie, it was a pity that someone like Fang Xie died, so he warned him to be more careful. Murong is shameful and cunning. It's better not to take it lightly.
He mentioned the letter to Zhu Baotian to persuade him. He and Zhu Baotian are not good friends, but they still have some friendship. I hope Fang Xie can also give Zhu Baotian's family a good home if Zhu Baotian surrenders.
Fang Xie read the letter to Zhu Baotian and didn't open it.
"Is Dugu Wenxiu coming?"
He suddenly asked.
Nie Xiaoju thought for a moment and said, "I asked the people of Xiaoqi school yesterday. Dugu should have arrived in Yongzhou. He can catch up with the army in six or seven days at most."
Fang Xie said, "I can't wait for him. Go and ask the civilian officials in the army who can imitate others' handwriting and come to see me. In addition, he ordered the Flying Leopard army, the flying lion army and Qin yuan's infantry to withdraw from the city, leaving only Chen Dingnan's men and horses in the city. The withdrawn men and horses still pose as a siege, block the surrounding roads, and no one is allowed to seal the square."
Nie Xiaoju didn't understand: "why is this, general?"
"Cheat"
Fang Xie left two words and went back to the city master's house to rest. According to his orders, the black flag army, which had only entered the city for less than a day, withdrew from the city and continued to form an array in the north of the city, showing that it was ready to attack the city at any time. He went back to sleep for half a day. After getting up, he washed a mandarin duck with Mu Xiaoyao and ate some food. The civil servants Nie Xiaoju found have been waiting outside. There are more than a dozen people.
Fang Jie took out the letter left by Fu Zhengnan for himself and let the civil servants read it again: "write it in imitation of Fu Zhengnan's handwriting. If it's not like it again, write it several times more. Whoever thinks it's very similar, bring it to me."
Those civil servants didn't know what the general was going to do, but they did it immediately. No one dared to ask anything. For a time, more than a dozen people in the room were sitting upright and writing with pens. After half an hour, someone got up with a copied letter and handed it to Fang Xie. Fang Xie looked carefully and shook his head slightly, indicating that the man could leave.
"General, I think this man has imitated very much?"
The Kirin standing beside him asked low.
"It's very similar, but it's just very similar at a fierce look. There are subtle differences between pen strokes. Where does this person work?"
"In the baggage camp, he is an accountant."
"I'm too anxious to show myself."
Fang Xie shook his head: "this person can't be reused. Write down his name and remind me in the future employment assessment. He was the first to get up and show it to me, not because he was confident, but because he was afraid of falling behind others..."
Fang Xie pointed out that there was another word wrong in the copied letter. It was obviously in a hurry. He didn't even comb and check it himself.
"I'm eager for quick success and instant benefit, lest I fall behind others. This person's character is not suitable for accounting. I'll arrange for him to go to Wei Xiting's men and ask Wei Xiting to find a job for him."
Qilin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. His heart said why he couldn't see so many things? On second thought, however, what the general said was true. This person should be eager to show himself, afraid that others will be the first to steal the limelight. Such a person is really not suitable for accounting in the baggage camp.
After another half hour, someone handed in the imitation letters one after another. Fang Xie watched carefully for a long time, chose three of the people who imitated the most and stayed.
"Re prepare the paper, pen and ink, and use the things in Fu Zhengnan's study."
After the three people were ready, Fang Xie said, "I'll tell you to write. You can't make a mistake in a word. You don't have to deliberately pursue neatness every stroke. It's better to be a little hasty and messy."
Then he began to say that the three people began to write, and everyone was very nervous.
After hearing this, they finally understood what the general was going to do. They couldn't help but praise him in their hearts. After the three people wrote it several times, Fang Xie picked out the most similar one, didn't put it in the envelope, folded it and handed it to Chen Xiaoru: "Send a competent person, put on the clothes of Fu Zhengnan's Pro soldiers, select a horse from Fu Zhengnan's defeated army, rush to Fengping, and give the letter to Zhu Baotian. The letter should be kept close to the body and hurry all the way as soon as possible. Don't care whether the sweat gets the letter wet. It's best if it gets wet."
"Here"
Chen Xiaoru answered and quickly ordered people to do it.
"Go and invite all the Xiaoqi schools hidden in Qingyuan City. I'll invite them to have wine. Yesterday, I asked you to ask where they all live?"
"All clear!"
"Send someone to send 1000 liang of silver and ten brocades to each household. Each household is divided into 100 mu of Xun field. The things are sent directly to their home."
Fang Xie said faintly, "you should be rewarded for your meritorious work, and you should also be rewarded heavily."

Yangtze River
Changfeng town ferry
The carriage stopped a few hundred meters away from the ferry. The old driver jumped down, pulled up his hat and looked at the ferry. Perhaps because of the war, there were few people at the ferry. There was a row of ferry boats waiting to work on the river. It looked very orderly. After the first boat left the shore, the second boat would stop by the trestle and return from the south bank The ship consciously ranked last.
There was no robbery. On the idle ferry, several fishermen gathered together to talk.
On the other side of the trestle, there seems to be a large group of people waiting to cross the river and bargaining with the boatman. It looks like a noble family, with 100 people. There are no official boats at the ferry, only small boats. These people need at least four or five boats to cross the river. Because the imperial army fought fiercely with luotu's rebels, luotu took all the large ships along the coast to the south of the Yangtze River after he was defeated, which is the official ferry I guess they were robbed.
But even if the war continued, the people along the coast had to eat, so the boatman was still picking up work.
It's impressive that order can be so good in troubled times.
"The carriage will stay in the north of the river. There is no big boat. We can't cross the river directly. We have to pack a boat upstream until we reach the intersection of the huangniu River and the Yangtze River, and then go south. I don't know if anyone is willing to pick it up that far."
The old man said to the carriage.
A beautiful hand stretched out in the carriage, with slender white fingers, and a jade card in the palm of the hand.
"This is the only thing I brought out. It should be worth a lot of silver. If it is exchanged, it will be enough for a family for ten years. It should be enough."
The speaker is Princess Yang Qinyan of the great Sui Dynasty.
The old man was Xi Yanqing, the teacher of the martial arts academy. He looked at the jade card: "gold in troubled times, rare in prosperous times. The boatman doesn't know the goods."
He asked, "I don't believe you have no silver on you, boy surnamed Xie."
The young man in the carriage smiled and handed out the package: "I'm from the Xie family. I'm short of everything, except silver. The money in this package is enough to buy all the ferries at the ferry. If you like, you can hire one for us and ten more to play with."
"Show off?"
Yanqing glanced at the carriage and impolitely picked up the package. It was very heavy. Obviously, there was a lot of packages.
Before he could ask if anyone would like to take a big job, he saw a young man riding an old yellow ox coming here in the distance. The young man was black and ugly, with a bamboo pole in his hand and a large piece of fresh meat hanging on it.
……
……
On a boat
None of the people sitting looked good.
Yang Qinyan looked at them and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
The white eyed young woman sat in the nearest place to her. It seemed that she was the calmest among the others, but Yang Qinyan saw it clearly. The white eyed young woman's hands were shaking slightly all the time. They were hands that could smash and collapse a solid stone bridge. Yang Qinyan had no doubt about the power of these hands, because she had witnessed it with her own eyes.
The old man Yan Qing sitting opposite didn't tremble, but his face was as white as paper. He had a habit of putting his left hand in his cuff all the time, because there was a deer skin bag in his left cuff, and all the concealed weapons came from here. Now the deer skin bag was left at his feet. It was very flat and empty.
The handsome young scholar wrapped his right hand in a handkerchief. Blood seeped from under the handkerchief, and his tiger's mouth cracked. At his feet, there was his sword, but it was only half as long as before. The top half of the sword body didn't know where to go. At this time, the rest of the broken sword seemed so helpless. Yang Qinyan remembered the long sword clanking like a dragon, and remembered the tree cut by the man who flicked the blade , but now it's the sword that's broken.
Three people, to a boy riding a cow.
Failed
"Thank you!"
The white eyed young woman looked at the boating village girl and said thank you very solemnly.
"It's no use thanking me. If the boy riding the cow really wants to kill, I can't stop him even if he does. My cultivation is no better than you. Even if he is surprised by the sudden move, even if you and I work together, you can't stop him. He doesn't try his best, you should see."
"I seem to have seen you."
The young scholar looked at the village girl and said, "in fangxie's shop?"
"Yes"
The village girl nodded.
Her name is Du Hongxian
She is Su Tu's dog's wife.
She has lived in Jiangnan for several years. Since Prince Yi rebelled, she left Chang'an and stayed on the Bank of the Yangtze River. The reason why those ferries are so regular is because she is in the Yangtze River. At the beginning, the old Dean Wan Xingchen pierced Luo Yao's golden body with a sword 700 Li on the Yangtze River and died. She buried the old Dean.
"Why wouldn't he do it?"
The white eyed young woman murmured.
Yang Qinyan was so nervous that he suddenly thought of the look at himself when the boy riding the cow left. The eyes were very complex, but the touch of kindness that she couldn't understand was so clear. It's like an elder looking at his child. It's hard to understand.
Yangtze River Bank
The armored general looked at the tiger with some injuries on his shoulder: "you lost?"
The tiger shook his head: "I didn't lose, but I didn't win."
General Tiejia nodded after being silent for a while: "just go, a girl. It's no big deal. As I said, I have to leave someone for the Yang family."
